"Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations....Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God." (Psalm 90)
This is a grand worship. He who Is, "from everlasting to everlasting," Is the Very One Who Is, "our dwelling place." This is not some place as a chapel, church building, or great worship gathering. This, "place," is none other than a Person, the only Visible Person of the Godhead, "the Man Christ Jesus."
The Eternal Living Triune God, He Who is "our dwelling place," made a marvelous invitation to continue in, "our dwelling place," centuries later. "Abide in Me, and My words abide in you." This is not some swooning abiding, some reeling back and forth "worship" posture. This abiding, "our dwelling place," is a very objective abiding, "My words abide in you." This is "guaranteed" abiding, not a feeling, which, as you know all too well, can just come and go at will. This, "My words abide in you," abiding will keep us where we cannot keep ourselves. This, "My words abide in you," abiding sustains during the darkest "night of the soul."
This abiding saved my life 40 years ago, and continues to save me, because it is the abiding of the Savior, our Lord and King Jesus Christ, breathing on me the "God-Breathed" Word, the very Breath of the Holy Spirit. According to the Bible, bread sustains a person physically, but "every word" which, "proceeds from the mouth of God," keeps me now and , "from everlasting to everlasting," in Him Who is, "our dwelling place." This is guaranteed housing.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I just what to confess with Moses, "from everlasting to everlasting You are God." And thank You for the invitation to share the, "dwelling place." Amen.
